Have you been collecting toilet roll cardboard for an unknown future project? Do you need a dozen more empty cereal boxes despite having
collected them all summer? Perhaps another OTC volunteer has what you need or would be willing to start saving for your project.
Some of us have shoe boxes, closets or even garages with materials waiting to be used.
If you are looking for a particular material or a solution to a material need, NEED instructions on how to communicate the need.
Recycling Ideas
Most of us have improved our domestic practices to be more environmentally friendly. We fill the recycling bin and try to remember to turn off the faucet while teeth brushing. Mother Earth and the landfill operators are thankful, but there is a whole new level of recycling to be achieved by converting waste into something wanted.
Can you see the little bits of text in this mosaic reproduction of “The Birth of Venus”?
Do you recognize them as your old water bill or the colorful reminder that came home about the next field trip?
The artist of this clever collage, Sandhi Schimmel Gold, has developed a technique she calls "Acrylic Mosaic Fusion".
Gold's art and other projects are featured in UpCycle Magazine, an online resource dedicated solely to innovative reuse projects.
